The shuttle pick up from Walt Disney World at 6:40 pm, 8:30 pm and 10:20 pm and will often have a later return time if the parks are open late. For Universal Resort, the shuttle leaves at 8:00 am and picks up at 6:45 pm and 8:45 pm. For SeaWorld, the shuttle leaves at 8:00 am and leaves the park at 6:30 pm. The shuttle makes two resort stops between our resort and the parks. The shuttle also goes to the shopping malls, although there is an additional charge for these shuttles. The shuttle is a full sized bus and reservations for a seat on the bus are made at the clubhouse concierge, where you can also obtain a current schedule of departure and park pick up times.
